nent Citizens Feel About H..
The members of the legislature are ex-
ceedingly coy, and it looks very much as if
large proportion of them had political am
bition and were afraid to place themselves
on record. A canvass Of the senate and
house. for the purpose of ascertaining their
presidential preferences, has not resulted
very satisfactory. Two-thirdS of the mem
bers decline to express their sentiments
one for this reason and the other for that.
1t is ten to one that nne-tenthS of them
want to be delegates to the next national
convention and are afraid to move until
they know which way the cat will lump.
